Cachoeira Poço da Roda III sits on the Rio Capivari in the municipality of Muritiba, Bahia, and is the third and most impressive of three small falls that form the Poço da Roda waterfall series.

It is considered the main attraction of the group, offering a swimming hole at its base. Reaching this third fall requires a short trail of roughly 2. 5 km one way from the trailhead near Praça São Pedro in central Muritiba.

The final descent to the pool is steep and heavily eroded, making it the most challenging and dangerous section of the route.

The river corridor is narrow and enclosed by dense Atlantic Forest vegetation, so visitors are advised to avoid the trail during or after heavy rain, as flash flooding poses a serious risk with few safe escape points along the canyon walls.

The Rio Capivari eventually drains into the Rio Paraguaçu near the BR-420 highway, between the towns of São Félix and Maragojipe.
